I did a search on PayPal, they posted an amendment to their users agreement in March 2008 that says at their discretion they can put a hold on funds for up to 21 days if they feel there is any kind of risk with the transaction. Not sure if they feal the risk is on your side Tony or the buyers, i guess it's possible that the buyer has had some questionable transactions....who knows.

As they said in the email the hold can be lifted if the buyer leaves you positive feedback....I would try that, ask him to leave you positive feedback.

Not sure what would happen if you canceled the entire transaction...I'm sure both eBay and PayPal would give you some grief over that.....what you could do is say you dropped the item and broke it when you were packing it and it can not be repaired...that might work.

Now that I'm thinking about it a couple months ago i bought a piece of Cherokee pottery from a pretty well known artist that my wife collects...it was kind of a rare piece and it sold really cheap, the seller sent me an email and said she broke it while packing...she probably got a better offer offline
